I made a program to lock my door with a password, just like alot of other people, and I put "os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw" at the top, but forgot to add a modifier to it. And in turn, the program won't end. Is there any way to end it, or is it forever running?

local pullEvent = os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
localside = "back"
local password = "14363"
local opentime = 5
while true do
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  write("Password:")
  local input = read("*")
  if input == password then
	term.clear()
	term.setCursorPos(1,1)
	print("Access Granted")
	rs.setOutput(side,true)
	sleep(opentime)
  else
	print("Access Denied")
	sleep(30)
  end
end

He can make a floppy disk with a empty startup file on it. Then after placing said floppy in disk drive next to computer restart computer. It will load up startup from floppy first (empty so nothing will happen) then go to standard shell where he can edit program.

Oh, it's that simple? Cool, thanks.

Here's a nice fix to your code

local pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw
local side = "back"
local password = "14363"
local opentime = 5
while true do
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  print("Password:")
  if read("*") == password then
        term.clear()
        term.setCursorPos(1,1)
        print("Access Granted")
        rs.setOutput(side,true)
        sleep(opentime)
        rs.setOutput(side,false)
  else
        print("Access Denied")
        sleep(3) --Don't do it TOO long: P
  end
end

Nope, can still be Ctrl+T'ed . Just a silly mistake is all replace

pullEvent = os.pullventRaw

with

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

Heat must be getting to everyone

It'd actually error. you can't localise something that's being declared in a table

I keep forgetting you can't do that. The other parts of the code were good, right?
